WAYS TO GIVE

The Executives of Galway University Foundation work closely with a range of individual and institutional partners to bring about mutually beneficial relationships. Every gift makes a significant impact on our goals. All gifts are appropriately acknowledged and appreciated

The University has benefited greatly through the kind and generous gifts made from benefactors over the years. The 1845 Society was established to recognise and support alumni and friends of NUI Galway who have included the University in their will. A legacy can be tailored to suit individual circumstances and every gift, no matter what size, can make a real difference. Specific purpose or designated legacies are gifts which reflect the particular interests and concerns of donors. General purpose legacies can be applied by the University to priorities at the time of transfer.

Leaving a legacy can offer an opportunity to commemorate an individual or a family and create a living testimony for future generations to see and appreciate. Buildings, rooms and scholarships can be named in recognition of a gift. We also welcome and respect gifts made anonymously.

In making a gift to NUI Galway, you can play a part in ensuring that the University continues to be at the forefront of innovation and excellence in teaching and research.

The NUI Galway Bank of Ireland Affinity Credit Card was formally launched in September 2008 and coincided with the renewal of Bank of Ireland’s exclusive on-campus banking franchise at NUI Galway. When a card is issued, Bank of Ireland donates a specific amount to Galway University Foundation. The Foundation also receives a percentage of the annual spend on each card. Currently all funds generated by this programme are directed towards the new Humanities and Social Sciences Research Building.

For many donors a lead gift is an opportunity to reach a major lifetime decision by making a philanthropic contribution of a substantial scale. These gifts come about as a result of a convergence of interests between the University and donors interested in specific projects or programmes. Such funding can help create an entirely new project or support an existing area of study.

At NUI Galway many of these gifts are for bricks and mortar projects which provide funds to upgrade facilities or build new amenities. Others are for academic resources such as centres and institutes engaging in specialised, often interdisciplinary areas of study. Often, they have significant naming opportunities, please email Tom Joyce or T: +353 91 493631.
